CAREER COUNSELLING

[A star]

Agreed.

For navy, there are many opportunities available if you pass the ISSB test. In countries like UK or USA, Economists are highly valued.
In Pakistan, those who pass CSS are able to command high posts and salary.
An Economics degree from foreign or LUMS/IBA is also valued and economists are sought by stock Exchanges, Professional services' firms etc.

thank you sir
I also have just a single query i have decided to do chemical engineering from NUST/NED or CS from FAST/IBA followed by either MBA or MIS

I was thinking of doing Bachelors in English and then going to Law. So, is it fine if I take English, Maths and AICT for A levels?

I would prefer NED and NUST rather than FAST. You will have to do MBA afterwards for a management post.

English will take you nowhere except some school/university, if you are from South Asia or any other Third World Country. Why not directly do LAW?

any idea about starting salaries of Lums' students?

It all depends on the graduate student's degree and the company employing that person.

why don't you mak an average? lets say 80,000

 

[FAHMEED]

why don't you mak an average? lets say 80,000

I can't make an average as the statistics in our country are not proper enough to judge the truth. However, my rough estimate suggests the average LUMS graduate earns about Rs 60k in his first year after graduation.

You still have time. Which city are you from?

Khi, pk.

 

[FAHMEED]

Khi, pk.

Many options are available in Karachi: St.Patrick's, Karachi Grammar, City, Nixor, Lyceum, Beaconhouse to name a few.

Tbh Further Maths is really really hard, and if you are sure that you can do it, better go for it, but most foreign universities don not base their offers on F.Maths.

In Pakistan, a career in Maths won't reap many benefits. However, there are good opportunities available in institutions like SUPARCO, KAANUP etc. So those who say are ignorant. Pak armed forces require Mathematicians to play through numbers for their missile systems and other related activities.

As an accountant. you have to interact with people, as candidates for interview pass through various assessments centres before getting a job, and people assess you whether you are an interactive person or not.

In the West, people with a Maths degree are able to get good jobs in aviation, space, armed forces etc.

I had an A* in maths and add maths both and I'm finding further maths really hard.It gets really hard in A2 and I'm currently struggling with the subject with one month to go in exams. I recommend that u take further maths only in the case if u have an A* in maths and additional maths both. Otherwise u would really need to work really hard and be prepared to be extremely frustrated. Oh and if u love maths be sure to be NSTC exam in maths, website link http://win.nstc.edu.pk/.
It would really expose to different branches of maths that u would never see in school. It doesn't matter if u take further maths or not. You may also want to choose school where people are getting selected. I don;t think that would be a bad criteria for choosing schools.
